Chapter 503: The Jigsaw Controversy
The premiere is over, and fans seem to be unsatisfied, many people go out of the theater and stand at the door and don't want to leave, especially those who watch the movie together, and like to take advantage of the crowd to get together to discuss.
The fat man stood on the steps, drinking the newly bought fat house happy water, and kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, as if he had not yet gotten rid of the shock and fright at the end of the film: "This film is so powerful that it has deceived everyone!"
Rosicky answered coldly: "I like to be deceived by such wonderful films! I can be deceived ten or twenty times a year, that is called cool." ”
Bendtner said: "I don't think I'll forget this film for another twenty years, especially the ending. ”
The black skinny black Latin kid didn't speak, just cocked a thumbs up.
The director of Niubi, the screenwriter of Niubi, and the film company of Niubi are definitely the end of God's turning point.
This horror film is indeed unexpectedly exciting, and you can know this by looking at the expressions on the faces of those who left.
It was not too early for the group to leave, and it was not until 12 a.m. that Rosicky returned to his home in Pasadena.
But instead of sleeping immediately, he landed on Netflix with great interest to share.
"I just watched the premiere of "Chainsaw", this film is so scary, many people in the theater are trembling with fear, and I see people crying in fright. The film is very exciting, the ending is amazing, after watching such a film, I have a beautiful sleep, and I have a few nightmares, happy! happy!
sent a micro message, waited for a while, Rosicky refreshed the webpage, and found that there were many friends who liked it below, and some people were asking about the film.
It brought him an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
In the past, when I watched a movie, I could only talk to three or five friends, and at most post a little comment on the website, but now I can not only send out information in time, but also see countless onlookers with my own eyes.
It's so cool!
It's so cool that Rosicky comes over every few minutes to refresh it, wanting to see if there are new comments in the circle of friends, and it itches without looking at it for a while, just like using this kind of Internet social tool that can be shared quickly can be addictive.
Rosicky also feels this way, his friends and colleagues in reality, and the netizens he knows on the Internet, are all on his friend list, and he always feels that something is missing when he doesn't come up to see it every day.
It seems that life has been shared without Netflix.
Refreshed it again, and found that there was a friend in the circle of friends who was not together tonight who also posted a message related to "Saw Horror".
"Saw Horror, if you like horror movies, I highly recommend you to watch this movie, it feels so good......"
Rosicky immediately gave him a thumbs up.
The spontaneous propaganda of social media, although far less than traditional media, has also begun to work.
On Friday, "Saw Horror" was fully released in 2,620 theaters in North America, but the scheduling rate was not high, with less than 3,200 screens, and the vast majority of chain theaters were single-theater screenings.
It is normal for theaters to have doubts about B-grade horror films with a production cost of $1.5 million, and it is normal for theaters to have doubts about investing so many resources, the distribution work of Embassy Pictures is very good, and the brand effect of Shahai Entertainment is not without effect.
Of course, the most important factor is that the embassy film industry invests heavily in publicity.
Without publicity, where did the movie come from, the theater side saw it clearly.
On the first day of its release in North America, Ronan received good news, and "Saw Horror" won $7.95 million in 2,620 theaters!
Correspondingly, the word-of-mouth of "Chainsaw" spread rapidly.
Although not as well-known as mainstream commercial blockbusters, the word-of-mouth effect is the most effective way to motivate others to buy tickets, and many horror movie lovers learn about the film from friends, colleagues, or relatives, and then walk into the theater, most of them will be satisfied and spread to their surroundings again......
This kind of news from relatively trusted people is indeed slow to circulate, but the actual ticket purchase stimulation of people far exceeds the hype in the media.
A good film, even with proper publicity, audience word-of-mouth often takes time to ferment, especially for films with limited publicity scale like "Chainsaw", after a one-day release on Friday, and the spread of word of mouth, coupled with the inevitable chain effect of weekend vacations, starting from Saturday the next day, the attendance rate of this film in theaters across the United States has increased significantly.
Due to the film's market-specific focus, Saturday morning attendance for "Saw Horror" was comparable to Friday night's prime time, and by Saturday afternoon, the audience sitting in the theater where "Saw was showing" continued to grow.
This dramatically increases the attendance of Saw and is able to be drawn in by what other people say, and the vast majority of people who walk in to watch the film are also horror movie lovers, and they often feel extremely satisfied with the film before recommending it to those around them, so that a virtuous circle is formed.
The spontaneous word-of-mouth effect is reflected in this cycle.
Moreover, the embassy film industry also has word-of-mouth marketing, and a little good news is eager to be hyped up to the whole world.
There is a slightly exaggerated news that has been exposed by the media, and someone was scared out while watching "Saw Horror"!
This is not a bad thing for horror films, and the propaganda department of the embassy film industry immediately followed up on the news, especially the swift Internet propaganda department, which immediately made people promote online propaganda, and the news quickly spread everywhere on the Internet.
A horror movie that can scare people, it can be described as charming for horror movie lovers!
At the same time, the propaganda department of Embassy Pictures orchestrated another offensive on the Internet, a debate about "jigsawing" good versus evil.
Some people like jigsaws, thinking that jigsaws give people a test, and through the torture of human nature and the soul, they can get a new life.
More people think that the jigsaw is a villain who raises the big card of justice and does evil things, and he has no power to torture others.
The two factions continued to express their respective opinions through the Internet, especially Netflix's social networking sites, forming a huge controversy, attracting more people to participate, and for a time it became a hot spot on the Internet.
This can be said to be the best thing that James Wing did in setting up the role of jigsaw, using cruel human torture to find the so-called mission of jigsaw, making his image look strangely sacred.
"What is your choice in the face of life and death?
At first glance it seems like a lot of questions, but what if you put additional conditions on it?
In the words of the compelling high, James Wing uses inner fear and human nature to reveal and deliberately guide the audience's own inner torture, so as to inspire them to chill from the bottom of their hearts!
It's definitely a brilliant narrative and a terrifying way to create an atmosphere.
Perhaps the Moments information published by a Netflix user can most appropriately reflect the psychology of the "jigsaw" old man.
"Perhaps the most terrifying and bloody thing in "Chainsaw" is not the exquisitely designed killing games, but the inner world of this perverted old man's ruthless and dehumanized inner world, a person's psychology is twisted to the extreme, either to destroy himself, or to destroy the world, in short, to be destroyed, and at the same time of destruction, he can also find a nonsense reason to hypnotize himself, telling himself that this evil cause is just, and he is helping others understand the true meaning of life. ”
On the comments of this person's circle of friends, he has suffered the crazy baptism of countless "jigsaw" parties.
"Nonsense, the games set up by jigsaws all have a way to live, but most people are alive and don't know how to be grateful!"
"If one day you get killed by a jigsaw, it must be your fault!"
In today's era, information is infinitely open, resulting in all kinds of strange people, and there are countless people who agree with the jigsaw theory on the Internet.
For example, some fans said the most classic theory of the future "jigsaw" party through the Internet - the level set by "jigsaw" leaves room for every player, as long as the victim is willing to repent and sacrifice, there must be a way to live. All he did was ask his victims to prove to him that he was worth living, and to promise to abandon the wrong way of life.
In the face of the innocent people, "Jigsaw" chose the way of the game, giving the other party a chance to change their ways and get a new life.
In this way, the "jigsaw" is really great.
What some fans said is also very representative - watch the movie just watch the movie, don't evaluate the person Jigsaw, this kind of person dies 10,000 times in reality is not an exaggeration, just watch the excitement brought by the movie.
If there really is such a person as a jigsaw in reality, the social order will be completely chaotic.
The controversy on the Internet, with Netflix sharing as the main base, has become more and more intense as the film is screened, and even caused a discussion in the media.
This also made more people pay attention to "Saw Horror" and noticed Netflix's sharing.
The controversy has led to a heated discussion.
And whether it is the "jigsaw" party or the staunch anti-"jigsaw" party, they basically give the film a high evaluation.
Especially at the end of the film, the scene where the jigsaw gets up from the ground greatly sublimates the whole movie, and even in the comments of many fans, "Chainsaw" has been included in the ranks of high-IQ movies, and thriller and gore have also become the best labels.
"It's exciting to watch, and it's brain-burning. In short, no detail can be missed, and every bloody scene makes people feel particularly excited. ”
Ronan's goal is to make the image of "jigsaw" a totem in the minds of horror movie lovers, and whenever this field is mentioned, he cannot be avoided.
Although this bloody and cruel genre of horror films is not particularly popular in North America, "Chainsaw" still became a well-deserved hit horror film in the relatively cold movie schedule in September, and in the first week of its release in North America, it not only successfully topped the box office charts, but also won $23.2 million at the box office.
